TRB is sponsoring the Adapting Freight Models and Traditional Freight Data Programs for Performance Measurement Workshop on April 30 - May 1, 2013, in Washington, D.C. The workshop will explore the adequacy of freight data and modeling for supporting performance measurement in public and private sector decision making by examining the use of information from the Freight Analysis Framework, other existing freight models, and traditional freight data programs as means to provide key measures for the national freight system.

Performance measures likely to be address at the conference include capacity, throughput, reliability, and cost of the freight transportation system at national, multi-state corridor, and statewide scales.

A revised preliminary program is now available. Advance registration expires April 1, 2013.
